'Come on Carter she not here, let go?' Steven said get agitated that Carter stood at the edge of the road refusing to move. 'It's been two days now since you saw Alice, she not coming back.'

Cater growled manically to Steven without taking his eyes of the road into Briston. 'She will come.'

Steven put his hand on Carter's shoulder. 'Carter face it she ran which now let's you chase her so much more thrilling I think. I recon with her head start three days tops and we'll have her back.'

Carter turned smiling to Steven. 'Yes your right much more fun then we can head home for a break.'

Carter followed Steven's lead heading thought the town to the apartments that house the locals. The tower stood in the center of town the huge block of shimmering architecture was the prize of the town, standing out in the bright light the building seamed alive. If only the human members of this outstanding town (city actually) knew what lived with its wall. The entire occupants where wealthy members of the community and worked out of the building growing their wealth. Thou most people never saw the habitants, only knew them by name. For they were rarely seen at a dinners functions or social gathering unless they were of great importance.

Carter owned his own floor sharing it with Steven the sixth floor to be precise. The luxury floor was covered in light cream carpeting and tiles, the walls a pearl white that seam to shimmer silver the stunning blue curtains framed the windows the ran around the building the black furniture filled the rooms adorned with blue and sliver items. Never failed to settle Carter's anxieties, as Carter stepped thought the doors he was greeted by Emily.

Emily was the house servant that ran the floor for him. Carter had acquired her some 20 years ago when she was 15 although she only looked 18 at the most.

(Carter maintained her youth and heath by allowing her to feed from him. This in turn gained favors from him and the ability to control her easier while still allowing him to feed from her although recently he thought to turn her as her he could not run the apartment as smoothly with out her.)

Emily had a slight frame with fine ivory skin the beautiful blonde head fell in waves down her back the bight blue intelligent eyes watched Carter and Steven as they entered the room. Emily greeted the men with warm affection. 'Welcome home I hope you are well this good morning; I have prepared your rooms and have provide you both with breakfast within your rooms. Is their anything that I could arrange for you today gentlemen.' Emily's smooth voices flowed like honey.

Carter smiled to her. 'Hello Emily always a pleasure to see you as always your ability to ensure are comfort are foremost is greatly received. I shall be seeking a meeting with Prince Richard at 10 this evening, also the coordination for the location of my vehicle would be appreciated. Thank you Emily that will be all until tonight.'

Emily bow ever so slightly smiling Steven nodded and strolled of to his room. Grinning as he opened the door to the sight.

Carter opened the door to his room the huge four poster bed had the blue drapes pulled aside on the right side exposing a young girl aged about 20 sitting on the edge, her lanky limbs draped in a fine silk dress the clung to her full beast. Carter grimaced as the girl stood and smiled at him.

'Good Morning Lord Hunter is there any thing that I could do for you.' She pushed a length of brown hair off her shoulder showing her neck, she was one of the many humans that where maintained in the building for feeding and certain extras if they wish to offer the vampire. Carter could smell the desire washing off of the girl this repulsed him as the image of Alice came to his mind.

The girl placed her hand on his chest pressing her self to him turning her neck to offer herself to him. Carter smiled he could tell that she knew better to attempt to kiss him even though she wished to.

Carter gripped the hand that lay on his chest twisting the hand to show the under side of the wrist exposing the delicate network of veins. Carter smile cruelly as the girl drew in a sharp breath as the quick sharp pain shot up her arm at the ruff unexpected movement. The quickening of her heart told Carter to her increase of fear at what might occur. (On occasion feeder's where kill but not often mostly out rage or desire.) Carter drew her wrist to his mouth and bite hard into the tender flesh he watched the girl cringe as he bit down he drew in deeply not caring for the harsh treatment of the girl feeding quickly not savoring the taste as it was not sweet and tempting as Alice.

Finishing his fill he flicked her wrist aside not caring to even heal it for her by licking it closed. He then left the girl shaky and alone in the bedroom unsure what to do, until his voice came from the bathroom. 'Get out.' He bellowed the girl left on shaky legs from being drained and in fear.

The mighty Hunter was cruel and fierce as was rumored but being new and sure of her beauty of her body's ability she was sure she could the one to please him she was secretly please when she was picked to go to him now understanding the others warning that they had tried to tell her. Emily greeted her at the door and led her to the stairs to remove her from the floor.

Carter shower then dried himself he walked to his bed slipping inside the already turned down bed the cool sheet caressing him as he drew then over himself. Carter allowed himself to image Alice near him longing for her warmth in the bed beside him. Furious at this thought he threw his wrist over his eyes and willed himself to sleep. Preparing himself for the chase of her hoping this would follow in his dreams.
